<H1>Spider dialog</H1>
<p>
This dialog launches the <a href="../../start/concepts/spider.html">spider</a>.<br>
  
<H2>Scope</H2>
The first tab allows you to select or change the starting point.<br>
If the starting point is in one or more <a href="../../start/concepts/contexts.html">Contexts</a> then you will be able to choose one of them.<br>
If that context has any <a href="../../start/concepts/users.html">Users</a> defined then you will be able to select one of them.<br>
If you select one of the users then the spider will be performed as that user, with ZAP (re)authenticating as that user whenever necessary.
<br><br>
If you select 'Recurse' then all of the nodes underneath the one selected will also be used to seed the spider.
<br><br>
If you select 'Spider Subtree Only' the spider will only access resources that are under the starting point (URI).
When evaluating if a resource is found within the specified subtree, the spider considers only the scheme, host, port, and path components of the URI.
<br><br>
If you select 'Show Advanced Options' then the following tab will be shown which provide fine grain control over the spider process.
<br><br>
Clicking on the 'Reset' button will reset all of the options to their default values. 

<H2>Advanced</H2>

The parameters on this tab correspond to the same parameters on the <a href="options/spider.html">Options Spider screen</a>.
